Integration Kuma opensource infrastructure monitoring

AdamM

Hi
I would like to propose the integration of Enhance environment monitoring using the popular open source tool Kuma Monitoring. - https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma

Features

Monitoring uptime for HTTP(s) / TCP / HTTP(s) Keyword / Ping / DNS Record / Push / Steam Game Server / Docker Containers
Fancy, Reactive, Fast UI/UX
Notifications via Telegram, Discord, Gotify, Slack, Pushover, Email (SMTP), and 90+ notification services, click here for the full list
20 second intervals
Multi Languages
Multiple status pages
Map status pages to specific domains
Ping chart
Certificate info
Proxy support
2FA support

Kumo supports installation via docker so this is ideal for Enhance.
I think you could create an additional monitoring role to even have the option to host it on a separate server to avoid overloading the main environment.

Why such a solution?

It is ready and open source, it only requires integration
it allows us to save the cost of additional monitoring services such as UptimeRobot, which costs a lot of money.
I believe that even at a later stage it is possible to create a monitoring service for clients' sites and make it available for them to view.
ready-made integration of notification
status pages
and much more.

@Adam what do you think about this?

Adrien

very good idea! It will save us a lot of time setting things up manually per website. Otherwise, I use BetterStack which I recommend.

I am using Uptime Monitor + Freshping to monitor servers, domains, etc and Instatus for status pages for my clients.

I'm looking into monitoring right now and I have to +1 this request.

If it's just basic uptime monitoring, we use Cloudflare Health Checks that trigger support emails and in some cases, even calls.

Adrien

digitalexpanse I didn't know CF had this. Upon checking, you need to be on a Pro plan.

Because CF APO doesn't play well with Litespeed, I'm on free CF for static websites and Quic.Cloud for dynamic ones.
Therefore I don't have this CF monitoring option.

2 years ago, I bought BetterUptime on AppSumo. Now and then, they have excellent deals for monitoring apps.

MediaServe

Well since folks are recommending other solutions:

Inexpensive, self-hosted PHP script, no recurring fees, Linux and Windows agents to install and monitor and graph things beyond simple uptime, etc. Several notification channels (not as many as Kuma though!) Clients with a dedicated server/VPS can be added as additional user to offer monitoring for their specific servers.

MediaServe Looks great! I like no recurring fees.

I'm starting to dive into the monitoring situation for Enhance.

The other day my application server was very slow, and I was seeing processor usage peaking at over 300% at times in the Hetzner console. Using the enhance console I wasn't able to determine which specific website was abusing the resources (fortunately it normalized after a reboot).

My question would be, should we also monitor the containers? and, how would you all go and troubleshoot situations like what I mentioned?

Something similar to Cloudlinux LVE monitor is being developed, so we can track usages of all users through a single panel. That will be really helpful to know who is using what amount of resources!

from my experience......:
please don't integrate such thing in enhance....... grafana in plesk is "*****" .. 🙂

we use a special prometheus/ grafana stack for monitoring that has to be up and running without any conclusins in the controlpanel. please leave this seperated....

Adrien

Powie Hello Powie! I did not get your message. Do you mean because Plesk failed at doing it with Grafana, it's not a good idea for Enhance?
What are your reasons why Enhance shouldn't integrate with an AMP tool?

Powie has to be up and running without any conclusins

I did not understand "Conclusins" ;-)
